On our second day we went to Monet's house and gardens at Giverny, the house has been restored to how it looked (or maybe just preserved) when Claude Monet lived there. The gardens were amazing and packed with hundreds and hundreds of different kinds of flowers.
Lucy, Ellen and I were definitely the youngest people there, as the only other visitors were about 3 bus loads of american, middle aged tourists. The high light - or low light depending on how you view it - was hearing one of them actually say "Bob I feel like a kid in a candy store!"... Lucy nearly puked.
Monets very pink house
View from the bedroom window
Sunflowers
Path ways though the flowers
Umbrella things to support the trees
This flower was bigger than my head
We walked around the garden admiring the flowers, we went through the underground tunnel and explored the famous water lily garden.
